Study visits and on site learning: Intercultural dialogue and History teaching

09:00 Study visit to Lefkara and Hala Sultan Tekke
Lefkara is beautiful village in the province of Larnaca. The traditional handicraft Lefkara lace making is transferred from generation to generation, from mother to daughter. It is even reputed that Leonardo da Vinci, on a visit to Cyprus, was very impressed by the Lefkara women's adaptation of Venetian embroidery. He is said to have taken a piece of work with the 'potamos' design on it back to Italy to grace the altar in Milan Cathedral. This design is known today as the "Leonardo da Vinci design".

Study visit to Famagusta (Varosha section of Famagusta 'ghost town', Othello's Tower, walled city of Famagusta, Salamis).
* Famagusta is a city on the east coast of Cyprus. Famagusta developed as a fully-fledged town and increased in importance to the Eastern Mediterranean due to its natural harbour and the walls that protected its inner town (during the Lusignan rule - onset 1192).

* The Varosha section of Famagusta was sealed off by the Turkish army immediately after 1974 and till today it remains, surrounded by barbed wire, inaccessible to everyone but the Turkish army. Swedish journalist Jan-Olof Bengtsson, who visited the Swedish UN battalion in Famagusta port and saw the sealed-off part of the town from the battalion's observation post, called the area a 'ghost town'.
* Salamis was an ancient city-state on the east coast of Cyprus, approximately 6 km north of Famagusta. Excavations at Salamis began in 1952 and were in progress until 1974 events. The public buildings uncovered so far at the city site of Salamis date to the post-Classical period. The 'cultural centre' of Salamis during the Roman period was situated at the northernmost part of the city, where a gymnasium, theatre, amphitheatre, stadium and public baths have been revealed.
